Today in a class I was asked "what super power do you want?" I answered with invisibility, because why not actually be invisible when you already feel that way? But let me tell you, being invisible gets old, fast. You want someone, anyone, to stop you in the hall and talk about anything. Or call you on a Friday night when you're not doing anything, cause you're just easily forgotten.
The sad thing is there's probably a million other people that feel the same way, but what am I doing to help them? Nothing. So I've changed my super power from being self-centered and invisible, to being able to see. See when someone feels as horrible as I do, and actually do something about it. See when someone's alone and wants someone, anyone, to say hello. Focusing on me gets me no where, except for down.
Invisibility can wait until I'm done with high school and all I will need to focus on are my green Washington forests and countlessly growing bookshelves. Then I can be invisible.
